They also appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, impressive speed, and quiet operation, along with its convenient USB-only power and broad compatibility. The only notable concern raised by customers is the requirement for separate software when using it with a Mac.

    I got this drive for an older computer having problems with the internal drive. Windows recognized it and installed necessary drivers. It was immediately available for use. It works flawlessly.

    My laptop didn’t come with an CD dive so I needed to get an external to install a software. This item worked perfect. Loved the fact that it’s lighweight and compact in case I need to take it with me.

    While it feels rather flimsy, and makes quite a lot of noise when working, it is a useful little thing and worth the price. No idea about it's longevity though.

    This is one awesome external cd/dvd drive. The unit performs well for its size and primary functions too. In addition, Best Buy had a very nice discounted price at the time of purchase too.

    I bought this when I bought my HP spectre. It was 39.00 with the package. It does its job good. Then it came on sale at best buy and they matched the price to 19.00. Not bad for an external CD player.

    Great product for the price. Was concerned I might have an issue with it because it was not an Apple product. The iMac recognized it immediately and I was able to work within minutes of installing.

    Great for that lap top that didn't come with a built in reader/writer. Slim size makes it an easy fit in most lap top cases. Works well with both CDs and DVDs.
